Formulation and optimization of medium-chain fatty acid nano-emulsion / Muhd Bahrudin Sari'at
The aim of this study is to optimize the virgin coconut oil in formulation of nano-emulsion. In this study we prepare various formulations of emulsion consist of virgin coconut oil as disperse phase. From the formulations we prepare, we investigate the influences of Tween 80 as surfactant and Span 8...
